To Be More Decisive

God of Wisdom,
When I am wrestling with endless responsibilities and decisions to make, it can feel overwhelming. Then, when I feel overwhelmed, I feel the pull to put off, to procrastinate, or just to avoid doing anything at all – even though I know from experience that doing so only makes matters worse!

Help me overcome indecision and spur me on to take action – any action. Indecision can be so crippling; sometimes, even making the wrong decision is the better alternative, since it gets me a step closer to the right solution. Grant me the confidence to be decisive and to trust you to guide me in the way that is best. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

To Avoid Procrastination

Gracious Father,
All that I have is from you, including the gift of time and the ability to participate in meaningful work in so many different ways. Nevertheless, I find it too easy to put off and procrastinate any number of responsibilities at any given time. When I don’t manage your gift of time well and I prioritize what I want to do ahead of what I should do, I end up playing catch-up on my commitments and tasks. That can lead to frustration for others and build mistrust. Moreover, procrastination can result in rushed efforts that are not carried out as well as they might otherwise have been. Help me to disrupt this poor habit and focus on responsibly carrying out what I have been tasked with in a timely fashion, allowing me the opportunity to do all things well. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
